 ABSENCES/TARDIES

Please make sure to send in a note before or after an absence or tardy explaining why your child missed school.  Make-up work will be sent home upon your child's return.  Unexcused absences and tardies will be recorded on the report card.

TUESDAY  FOLDERS

A folder with your child's agenda book will be sent home every Tuesday with all of your child's papers from the week.  Please take the time to review your child's work.  This encourages your child to do his/her best, and gives you the opportunity to follow his/her progress.  Please keep the week's papers, sign the agenda book, and have your child return it with the folder.

HOMEWORK

It is your child's responsibility to complete and turn in his/her homework on time. All homework assignments should be recorded in your child's Tatum Ridge agenda book.    Please talk to your child about setting aside a certain time and place for doing homework.  Homework will be assigned EVERY Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, with extra time given for larger projects.  Failure to complete homework will result in a loss of recess, and affect your student's overall grades.

BOOK CLUBS

Our class will be participating in a number of book clubs.  I will send home order forms in the Friday envelopes approximately once a month.  Please send in any orders by the stamped due date with A CHECK made out to the book club.  NO CASH PLEASE!!!

 VOLUNTEERS

Tatum Ridge is already fortunate to have many wonderful volunteers.  ALL VOLUNTEERS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A PALS ON-LINE FORM.  If you filled one out last year, you are still required to update it this school year.  If you are planning to volunteer or chaperone field trips, it is imperative that you come to school and complete this on-line form.

 SNACK

We will be having snack each day, and it is your child's responsibility to bring his/her own snack.  Please send only nutritious snacks that can be enjoyed WHILE WE CONTINUE working.  Students should also bring bottled drinks (no soda) to have during snack and after P.E. or recess.  All drinks, snacks, and lunches can be kept in our classroom refrigerator. Please be sure to label everything.    

BIRTHDAYS

You are welcome to send in treats for your child's birthday.  Please keep it simple.  Also, birthday invitations may be passed out in class, only if ALL students are invited.  Otherwise, please send them by mail.  This will prevent hurt feelings.
